Hillary and I were shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the
death of Rep. Walter Capps. He was a rare soul, someone able to
fuse intense spirituality with a devotion to his community and
country. He brought constant values, a rare perspective, and a
sense of moral grounding that public life too often lacks, and
will sorely miss. I will always be grateful for his friendship
and support. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Lois,
his children Lisa, Todd and Laura, who has worked with us at the
White House, and their entire family.
